Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister. He gave me one more small crumb of comfort when he spoke about a government review of cases and the discretion that is available to entry clearance officers. On the review, I ask Members of your Lordships’ House, and of the other place, to send into the Home Office the maximum number of difficult, hard and compassionate cases. I hope that the organisations outside this House that have supported this amendment,

and that tabled by my noble friend, will do the same. I hope that entry clearance officers will get clear instructions to consider the best interests of any children they may come across who are applying through them.

I beg leave to withdraw Amendment 120.
